Dek loves hanging with his Tita Wuiping and helping to plan this year's Fiesta Asia Street fair (you should come www.asiaheritagfoundation.org). He will be there this year helping to run the children's tent. He was unfortunately too young to mangage the Beer Garden.

Derek is reaching a pinnacle of new cuteness in his 5th month. We're in what I understand to be the baby "golden age" - adorable, not moving around yet, yet giggling and extremely sociable. Recently, he's learned a new game - SuperBaby! Mike will swing him up and he'll stiffen his whole body. He's getting so strong. We've decided to delay solids since he's still getting bad flare ups from ezcema. My diet modifications have helped but I'll be honest that it is difficult to stay on the wagon. His sleep is still a work in progress - but he does go to bed regular around 7. How long he sleeps is always a guessing game though. Ah, the lack of sleep is so worthwhile though.

So the wonderful Kelly Pear (real maiden name: Kelly Appel, now Kelly Connell - but we still call her by her college nickname that makes very little sense) and hubby, equally wonderful Kerry were in town from "Dirty Jerz" to visit. Kelly and I were were roomies back in the WM days and is truly one of my closest friends. We were so happy to have her and Kerry visit. Derek showed off his flying skills and entertained them throughout the weekend.

Our good friends Carolyn and Wayne came to visit (Carolyn is sadly not pictured since I didn't snap a photo of her jumping him up and down). They are fabulous buds of ours and will make equally fabulous offspring one day. They came by to "test drive" Derek. Hopefully he didn't scare them away. Plus he demonstrated his jumperoo abilities.
